I think it's idiosyncrasy - means something odd or unique that you do - tie your tie an odd way or something - put an odd spice on a common food

an idiosyncrasy is an odd or annoying repetitive behaviour... usually one that is tied to a particular action or circumstance..
biting your nails when nervous
saying "ahh... ummm" when you speak
having a whiskey before a meeting
scratching your head as you think
humming while you work
even wearing a cowboy hat in the middle of a city could be considered idiosyncratic....
